Johnny Bench ripped 2 homeruns and had 6 RBI as the Cincinnati Reds defeated
the San Francisco Giants by a score of 9 to 6 at Candlestick Park.
 
Bench was a source of great heartache for the San Francisco faithful all day.
He just kept pounding out hits! He bombed a two-run dinger in the 1st inning
and belted a three-run homer in the 3rd inning.  San Francisco tried
unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th.  
 
The win was credited to Roger Nelson(1-1) who went 8 innings allowing 3 runs.
Jim Barr(0-1) was the loser.  He surrended 3 homeruns in his 7 innings.
